What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Prophylactic Manual Rotation of persistent occipital posterior presentationProcedure or surgery
prophylactic manual rotation of persistent occipital posterior presentation on operative delivery will be performed in the experimental group
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| prophylactic manual rotation group | Experimental | During persistent occipital posterior presentation during the second stage of labor, prophylactic manual rotation will be performed. Receives: Procedure: Prophylactic Manual Rotation of persistent occipital posterior presentation |
| No prophylactic manual rotation group | No intervention | During persistent occipital posterior presentation during the second stage of labor, expectant management for delevery will be performed |
